What is Youth-GEMs?
At Youth-GEMs, we’re dedicated to improving the mental health of young people across Europe! How? We are using AI and unique data to study the genetic and environmental factors influencing youth mental health and creating tools for early detection, prediction, and monitoring of mental illness in people aged 12-24.
